Subject:
Odd that they recorded this? Not at all.
In de mornin' is deliberately done in the vernacular of antebellum slavery days and speaks about a wife or mother trying to wake a reluctant husband or child... and Jes gib him one ob mine is beautifully written and spoken. Not odd at all that a historical recording would be done to capture a moment in time. We may not be comfortable with the way of speaking ("slave speech") but a very educated and creative man, Paul Laurence Dunbar wrote it deliberately that way to represent a certain time and a very educated and talented man, Edward Sterling Wright performed it.
